Sixlets Cake

We've debated the merits of M&Ms wedding cakes before, but this Sixlets cake from Sprinkle Bakes is perfect to celebrate any kid's event. The variety of sprinkles on top is like an explosion of edible confetti.

For birthdays, graduations, and just fun gatherings, the candy-coated cake is awesome!

Dessert Trend: M&M Cakes

We've got a few different dessert trends emerging this year. I noticed the pooch at a party trend, followed by the pony at a party concept. After sharing this candy covered Valentine's cake with you, I came across this blue and yellow version at a real wedding on Style Me Pretty.

Other blueberry and lemon treats compliment the cake's motif, while an M&M-lined tray displays seating cards.

I wonder if M&Ms will become a frequently used decoration for cakes. You might remember this pink and red M&Ms cake that I featured around Valentine's Day. It seems like an easy enough element to add to a cake. Since the candies come in so many colors, I imagine you could find any combination you need for your party. 

Do you like this trend?

Dessert Table: Hipster Happiness

In case you missed my post late yesterday, be sure to check out the video of my Valentine's dessert table segment on the KARE 11 Today Show. Ok, now on to today's yummy post.

This mod dessert table from Ruffled is full of simple treats and fabulous styling details. Photog Alison Conklin captured the images at this shoot styled by Beka and Kimberly of Styled Creative. An M&M cake makes a bold, youthful statement, while red velvet whooopie pies, heart shaped sugar cookies, and sprinkle-topped cupcakes in shades of red add vibrancy to an otherwise neutral palette.

You'll also see that the pooch at a party trend is alive and well (and wearing red shoes). Although we saw a horse at this dessert table shoot earlier this week, I don't think we'll see them quite as often as the pups.

Isn't the mini oven a cute prop for the cupcake picture? It's a nice change of pace from the traditional cupcake-in-hands shot that we see over and over again.

What do you think of the M&M cake? Cute or kooky?
